Russia is considering whether to disconnect from the global internet briefly, as part of a test of its cyber-defences.
The test will mean data passing between Russian citizens and organisations stays inside the nation rather than being routed internationally.
A draft law mandating technical changes needed to operate independently was introduced to its parliament last year.
The test is expected to happen before 1 April but no exact date has been set.

As you all know China already has a closed internet. 

Russia is about to, and China now will only allows access through certain government controlled servers. 

This is to shield them from cyber attack << and monitor the population???-- naaah!! >>>

What does the USA need to do?? -- other countries are setting themselves up against cyber attack but we are wide open? How to keep internet freedom and protection from attack?

Another wall?? in a sense...… or do we wait until we are the only country with open << cough cough >> borders...………
